Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, writer Varun Grover and comedian Kunal Kamra are auctioning their trophies to raise funds for COVID-19 test kits.

The campaign aims to raise Rs 13,44,000 in the next 30 days for ten kits which will help one thousand people get tested.

Kashyap took to Twitter and said whoever bids the highest, gets the winning Filmfare trophy for his acclaimed gangster-drama Gangs of Wasseypur.

“Highest bidder gets the original trophy for the Filmfare critics award best film 2013, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur,'” Kashyap tweeted.

Grover shared a picture of his trophy for penning the lyrics of “Moh Moh Ke Dhaage” for the Ayushmann Khurrana-Bhumi Pednekar starrer Dum Laga Ke Haisha.

“Adding the TOIFA trophy I won for ”Moh Moh Ke Dhaage’‘ (DLKH, 2015) for a charity auction to raise funds for COVID test kits. Putting it up on eBay in 2050 was my retirement fund plan but i believe now is a better time to use it to secure India’s future,” he wrote.
